About The Role

Here at AO Data is key to every decision we make!

Working with our BI Team Lead, Clare, you’ll be responsible for designing, developing, implementing, documenting and maintaining our Data Warehousing and Data Modelling solutions.

You’ll be hands on, prototyping solutions, testing ideas and working with colleagues across the Data team and stakeholders across the organisation to develop data models, reports and visualisations to specification and within deadlines.
